Season 6 is coming in May.
http://www.equestriadaily.com/2016/02/season-6-of-my-little-pony-arrives-in.html
That was a short hiatus.
>>26435437
Think that makes it the 2nd shortest hiatus after season 1's.
Guess a release month isn't enough to hype up. That or the OP is just shit.
>>26435418
That's good, I guess. Now we just have to know the exact release date. It's going to have to be one of those: May 6, May 13, May 20 or May 27. Which one is the most likely?
Hope they don't delay it again mid season.
>>26435622
Shit, I fucked it up. It's supposed to be May 7, May 13, May 21 or May 28.
I remember getting really hyped when I heard what season 3's air date was. Now I just kinda feel nothing.
>>26435418
Was hoping for April but eh, it's still only 2-3 months away. Like >>26435453 says thia hiatus is really short.
I am however dreading the hiatus after S6. My guts tells me we won't get S7 before the 2017 movie, making us wait for almost an year. Waiting an year for roughly 5 episodes at once only (comparing the length of the movie to episodes)
>>26435735
We will probably get a mid season break.
>>26435638
would you rather have short, segmented breaks or one long ass painful hiatus again? S4-S5 was death. I couldn't take another one.
>>26435735
They did say Explore Equestria was preparing the audience for the movie but that could mean a lot of things.
>>26435418
>May
Yay
>>26435769
Really? When was this said? Today? I had a busy day so I wasn't able to follow anything from the Toyfair
Kinda hope they keep up the mid season mini hiatus if it means less time between seasons. That is if an S7 is going to happen.
Good news to hear but..
>EQD
I still dont understand that there are people who sue 4chan like they use EQD
>>26435418
Was hoping for April, but after last hiatus' length I'm not going to complain.
26 episodes
Confirmed writers: Mike Vogel

Possibly Felicia Day and William Shatner guest-starring

>Daring Do returns
>Maud returns

Can I get some context on these rumors?
>>26435996
>Fluttershy's Brother
>>26435999

>>26436024
>Daring Do returns
Confirmation from VA Chiara Zanni.
>Maud returns
See above screencap from S6 Manehattan episode with Pinkie and RD. Source: official FB page.
>Dragons
This one falls in the middle between confirm and rumor. The comics were given direction on how Dragon Town should look, presumably based on how a dragon settlement in S6 would look. Depends on how professional you think the IDW-Hasbro relationship is. That's up for debate I guess.
>>26435418
Noice. Good to know that the dumb generals will soon be filtered out by original content.not.
>>26436081
yes!.
>>26436010
It all depends on the application. If you rend down earlier stuff to their most basic two- or 3-word descriptions, they aren't too interesting either. It's all in the actual writing.
With that said..
>Daring Do
Meh. The original episode was perfect in its sendup of Daring Do as a literal self-insert. The second was a mistake they can't admit yet.
>Maud
Could be good or bad. She's a good character, but overusing her could be just as bad
>Dragons
The last time we saw them they didn't work too well, so only time will tell whether the staff will handle writing them better this time.
>>26435418
ALL ABOARD!
>>26435996
S6 finale is with Discord and Chrysalis
>>26435999
>>26436081
Have you not see the interview with Jeremy Whitley? He said that Hasbro was 100% sure that they are not oging to bring him back into the series and that he can do anything with him.
>>26436094
Don't go into rumor territory right now unless you want another flame war.
>>26435418
Let's hope it'll continue the trend of S5 and remain okay to pretty good.
April's PPG reboot doesn't look promising at all. I think Faust and Renzetti might actually hate what's happening there more than what happened to MLP:FiM.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY2Jsku_Mvs
>>26436094
Just like IDW said that Discord is going to have his past explored in S5? Rumors are just that. Rumors.
>>26436198
i know, it just a meme bro

Slashy, getting real tired of your shit.
>>26436316

>>26436366
Those things are completely fake tho.
>>26436366
Oooh good to hear.
I am surprised they didn't bother to have Cadance be pregnant.
Flurry Heart is born right at the beginning of the season.
>>26436366
>thinking ANYONE will fall for this bait
>>26436354
>>26436366
I wonder how often Spike is gonna wear that armor throughout the season
>>26436418
I'm suprised Cadance even appeared. Is funny how she got more screentime than Celestia and she still feels like an bland OC made for toys only.
>>26436320
>>26436323
It is so fucking short, what is there to discuss from it?
>>26436418
You don't wanna teach kids about pregnancy.
>>26436366
So fucking hyped mate.
>>26436447
None. The Guardian of Harmony thing is only a small toy set with a mini comic series included in the toys. Season 6 doesn't focus on this theme at all and the episodes were written way earlier before Hasbro even thought about the toyline.
>>26436418
Hasbro mandate I reckon. They still have the 80's mentality of being scared of christian soccer moms, and showing preggo Cadence would amount to sex ed for these people.
>>26436354
Probably not, I saw the presentation life, they mentioned Explore Equestria as the new season theme, Guardians of Harmony they said represents scenes from the past seasons they found iconic.
>>26436468
Stop samefaging your comment
>>26436447
>implying hasbro isn't going to chuck it out after it makes one appearance.
>>26436471
>>26436447
Actually the trademark was filed way last year in mid-June, when S6 was still being written. I guess we'll see.
>>26436484
They might both be represented in the season, but Explore Equestria seems to be the main theme.
>>26436484
Well there is some new stuff in there too, and you need to put this stuff in the show to push it. The comics won't because the comics come WITH the toys.
>>26436511
It could be kind of like a variation of S4. The keys were the main theme of the series, with the castle and rainbow power being a toyline introduced.
Here it might be that Explore Equestria is the main theme, but the Guardians of Harmony concepts (I.E. toy designs, concepts) may be introduced in there and expanded in the comics.
>>26435622
>>26435653
What fucking calendar do you have?
>>26436540
>Guardians of Harmony concepts (I.E. toy designs, concepts) may be introduced in there and expanded in the comics.
I think this is the point. Explain it/show it on the show a bit, then get them to buy the toy to learn more about it because it comes with an expository comic.
>>26436515
You can make assumptions of what will happen,, I am simply telling you what was actualy said. Explore Equestria and Flurry Heart were mentioned as showing up in the media and new season, Guardians they specifically said was meant to represent adventure elements of past seasons that had never gotten toys. The designer of the giant Spike even said that he knows he didn't use his greedy transformation for good in the SEASON 2 episode his design is taken from but he still thought it would look cool in a toy.
>>26436540
What if we get a variation of the Equestria Girls situation?
A concept is introduced in the show and basically ignored, if you want to follow it further you check out the Guardians of Harmony comics.
>>26436540
>>26436581
Yeah, I can see the powerups magical artifact thingies having a lot of potential for storylines that kids would want to read about more, but it is a concept that could get in the way of the show.
>>26436572
Accidentaly posted before I was done. I'm just saying durng the entire presentation they had no problem stating what was going to show up in the cartoon (both MLP and Transformers), so if Guardians was going to be in the show I think they would've said it
>>26436198
Sauce?
>>26436634
I guess we will see.
>>26435996
Twilight Sparkle lose her wings in the S6 finale.
>>26436540
>>26436618
Most of the previous toyline stuff tended to be one off things (Rainbow Power, Power Ponies, Breezies), but this idea has a lot of potential as it is essentially a whole new element that can be focused on.
>>26436191
Discord will be in love with Queen Chrysalis and it's canon.

>>26436770

Ohno
>>26436728
Thank you. I feel better now.
I hate discord. But thinking he could be shipping it is not acceptable.
He is an old and disgusting joke.
Why the show keep him alive? I got no idea
>>26436667
I can see that. It makes a lot of sense given that it would be difficult to keep them from taking too much focus throughout the season.
>>26436782
See>>26436789
Normal people don't ship discord, stop forcing it.
>>26435418
Praise Celestia.
>>26436789
They want him to be MLP's Q. I have never seen that series, but so far his character has been very bland and his episodes very formulaic with him being an asshole for no reason other than wanting to instill 'chaos'.

Fool, when FiM ends we'd just get a sequel series set in the same universe with a different mane cast, perhaps after a timeskip.

I hope so. It's so boring watching the internet autist sphere stagnate like it has, once pone finally ends interesting things can happen again.
>>26437265
Nobody watches the show anymore

>>26438145
Feels good man
>>26438145
Now if only they made a video game to match with the season.
>>26438145
I wish Guardians of Harmony were actually in the series. The guy who designed him said this:
"I've been at Hasbro a while and this guy is one of my favorites! Even a casual fan of the series knows and loves SPIKE THE DRAGON. I was inspired by the episode in which he lets greed get the best of him and wreaks havoc on Ponyville. How cool would it be if he could harness that power and help his friends defend Equestria against the evil QUEEN CHRYSALIS?! SPIKE THE DRAGON comes all armored up with three fireball projectiles and four activation points to trigger over a dozen roaring sound effects. He even includes a saddle so he can team up with any of his pony friends and charge into battle! And since little SPIKE THE DRAGON is so lovable, we've included him too."
Not sure what it means. The show might introduce it and then a comic included covers more?
>>26436887
I don't know what in particular but something about this face freaks me right the fuck out.
>>26436881

>>26438145
>powerups in MLP
>Spike being the center character of a whole toyline something most characters haven't even gotten.
I mean are we sure this is Hasbro we are talking about?
>>26438509
It's fake as fuck. But I think at least Spike and the Chrysalis stuff is in S6.
>>26438254
Yup, maybe the powerups are introduced in the series then expanded in the comics.
>>26436789
This isn't even a meme you sperg. Discord was already confirmed to get involved with Fluttershy in S6.
>>26438535
It is like I stepped into an alternate universe.
>>26438535
Hard to believe this is still a show for little girls.
>>26438280
This. Applejack should have gotten that part, she is not that smart
>>26438808
It's still a show for little girls. They too like toys like this, maybe even more than the 'stereotype' girly girl dolls
>>26438535
I wonder how they will keep guardians of harmony's powerups separate from the main series stuff, unless we aren't getting another rainbow power/elements of harmony again ever.
>>26439005
Probably ignore it after they are introduced.
>>26439005
Ignore it like they do EQG.
>>26439005
It's just armor.
>>26439610

>>26439610

>>26438623

>>26435418
Hyped for powerups.
>>26435418
Will there be another split?
>>26435996
We can pretty much confirm "Spike levels up" from the new toys, considering we have a toy of him grown big enough to carry a full-grown pony. Which goes well with the CMC getting older as well.
Maybe we'll see the Cake twins get out of baby tier at last?

That's just sad. The original PPG was a fun, whacky super-hero cartoon with funny joke villains.
This is the exact same kind of bullshit "here, let me shove my political agenda down your throat" kind of shit that has been permeating and ruining perfectly good cartoons for years now.
If you took screenshots from that scene and made it into a comic strip using the exact same dialogue it would be exactly the same as those terrible sociopolitical strawman comics that you can find all over the internet.
Seriously, I don't care about the specifics of the ideology, PPG should not be shoving ANY kind of ideology down kids throats. That's just not the type of show it's supposed to be.
>>26443466
Toy is based off of Secret of My Excess.
Season theme is Explore Equestria, toy theme is Guardian's of Harmony. Usually when there's toy spoilers the toy theme and the season theme are the same. This will probably end up like "Cutie Mark Magic"
>>26443567Magical Mystery Cure aired on my birthdayIt was great
